Assessment
This assessment will comprise three parts : two objective test, laboratory exam and tutored project. Dates will be specified in the academic calendar. In order to attend the laboratory exam and to assign the tutored project, the students have to contact to the lecturer according to an established procedure. The two objective test will be comprised multiple choice questions and/or
short-answer questions and/or problem-solving exercises. Marks for each
objective test (OT1 and OT2) will be assessed in a 10 points scale. The laboratory exam will involved a practical test.The laboratory exam will be assessed in a 10 points scale and this mark will be the final mark of laboratory (FLM). In order to assess the tutored project, the lecturer will consider the developed work, the quality of the the obtained results, their presentation and analysis, and the
quality of the final written report if required. This work will be assessed in a 10 points scale and this mark will be the final mark of this part (TPM). In order to pass the subject, students will be required to pass the three parts: - objective tests: OT1>=5 and OT2>=5,
- laboratory: FLM>=5.
- tutored project: TPM>=5.
In this case, the final mark (FM) will be:
FM = 0.60·OTM + 0.25·FLM + 0.15·TPM, where: OTM will be the arithmetic mean of the two objective tests: OTM = (OT1 + OT2)/2 However, when the students do not pass all parts, the final mark will be calculated using the following expression: FM = min( { 4.9; (0.60·AM + 0.25·BM + 0.15·CM) } ), where: AM = 5 -Sum(Ai)/2 where Ai = max( {0; 5-OTi} ) for i = 1, 2.
BM = min( {5; FLM} )
CM = min( {5; TPM} ) A final mark higher than five points (FM >= 5) should be achieved in order to pass the subject. About ethical behaviour of students Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any of the tests or exams, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution. |
